This, combined with the observation that neutrinos are the only electrically neutral particles in the Standard Model, gives rise to the assumption that neutrino mass might come from

The masses of the Standard Model particles vary slightly with the energy scale we observe them at, due to a mechanism with virtual particles, much like what we described for the

We studied two simplified models: the Froggatt–Nielsen model, that gives an explanation for the hierarchies of the charged fermion masses and the Altarelli–Feruglio model that

For all these groups G f we investigate in section 3.3 to which lepton mixing patterns it can naturally give rise when we assume that the flavour dynamics breaks the group, but

One way to realize bimaximal mixing at leading order is now if the neutrino mass matrix is diagonalized by a maximal angle in the (1 2) sector 2 , while for all charged particles

Flavour symmetries cannot provide a dark matter candidate, because flavour symmetries are always broken when flavons (or Higgs fields in non-trivial representations of the
